Posted: Nov 19, 2013

Need for speed.  Really love that one.  I can tell Shaw has transcribed multiple times before. ha ha

when I went up 2, I got dinged for missing a, an, and the - thus failing an audit

You cant win!

The last account - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
I had was so bad I could not even play the dictators at normal speed, much less speed them up more. Now I have a new account with another bunch just like the last. Imagine speeding up the ER docs even more? Not to mention the toll it takes on ones hands and arms trying to go at top speed all the time. They seem to think we are robots.

Wheeeeee!! I'm speeding - through these reports

[ In Reply To ..]
like a jet!! Wheeeeee!! When they write me with my little hand-slappy note, I'll tell them that's what Shaw said to do! Or Shah, whatever his name is.
He should do some of my reports - mom2huskies

I wonder if he would be able to speed through my accounts which are all foreign hospitals overseas and still be 99.6% accurate.
Maybe we could speed through them if the ASR was worth something - anon

The ASR sucks!
Amen!! The ONLY thing that will increase my speed is proper ASR! - dismal

The only dictation I can speed up is done by dictators who speak at half the normal speed.

In fact, what he is promoting is a dangerous practice.

Yeah, the TSM, or whatever she is, says SLOW down! sm - Dead and dying

[ In Reply To ..]
Never, ever run at 100% or faster!

but it's not from him - he is way too important for that now

[ In Reply To ..]
He's a VICE PRESIDENT now and no longer concerned with such niggling little details; no, Shaw has paid his DUES! Now it's Hints from Hollie who, with all due respect, probably was an MT at some time in her life.

The e-mail is signed by Shaw - and wishes us

[ In Reply To ..]
His very best. It was sent from Hollie's e-mail addy. Hollie is probably an 18 yo intern...lol

she is the Program Director, Worldwide HDS Labor Operations - nm

OK Shaw...
Sep 03, 2013

"productivity tips"  have finally jumped the shark.  I think most of us who have been doing this job for more than about a week understand that keeping a neat desk and not checking feedback while working are conducive to productivity.  Here's a tip for you: Treat highly skilled and knowledgable workers like valued assets who are able to make choices and decisions on their own, not like robotic drones who have no clue how to get work accomplished.  Otherwise spare us the ...

Shaw's Tip Number 1.
Aug 04, 2013

One of his tips was: Try something new - Exchange your foot pedal for a keyboard shortcut to toggle your audio! Hmmmm... I don't find a keyboard shortcut to toggle the audio on and off. I only know/find the shortcuts for toggling speed and for toggling tone. I have checked F1. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the audio on/off toggle keyboard shortcut is? I really doubt there is one. Double checking for confirmation. Thanks ...

Typo In Shaw's Email

I Wish Shaw Could Be Working My Shift Today.
Aug 29, 2013

I have worked so hard all day, have next to nil inactive time, and still, barely the minimum line count. I would especially like him to do the last report with the horrible scratchy sound with the doctor alternatively blasting out my ears and not talking into the phone, and the horrible output. Ha, ha - spend a day in our shoes. What a challenge :) I doubt he is up for the challenge, though. ...


Hey Shaw, Guess What My Mentor Said After Shadowing Me?
Sep 17, 2013

She said, "retype more". She had nothing else to say after watching me work. I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts, but I can still mouse faster. The secret to being fast on the mouse is learning to use it on the left side of the keyboard so you don't have to reach back and forth past the number pad. It's only mere inches when it is on the left side. I have never found a way to Ctl Alt I with all my fingers on the keys. Again Shaw, spend a day (or better yet, a week) in our sho ...

I am looking for an Mmodal email address for Shaw.  They seem to hide his email like a snake hides in the grass...hmm.... I would like to ask him about ASR and why each time they "upgrade" it, the system gets worse and worse.  I am also going to petition him for our line rates to be increased as this system does not do what he said it was intended to do - make our jobs easier.  The whole reason our pay was cut was because he thought we were making too much money with the new and e ...

AND then spells it again - extubated, e-x-t-u-b-a-t-e-d, extubated e for elephant, x for crosses, t for tom, u for umbrella, b for .......... get the picture (sigh)? On top of that, the report is 28 minutes long!!! Should never have gotten out of bed this morning. LOL I do feel bad for him that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to spell every other ...


Why I Love VR
Dec 20, 2009

Hey, I don't actually type that crap, ya know!  I have way too much dignity to be associated with that garbage for the pittance they are paying.  However, looking at the crap that VR produces that is included in patient records, I realized, hey, why bother proofreading???  Anything I produce with my old-fashioned, stone-age, luddite TRANSCRIPTION looks a heck of a lot better than anything I've seen VR produce.  No one will notice any mistakes I might make.  The ...


I Just Love This.
Jan 21, 2010

An email gets sent out around 4 a.m. stating there is a critical backlog and asking everyone to help out.  The email shows the backlog, but it's really not that big.  Says if you have hours to make up to do it today.  This is at 4 a.m., when a lot of us are sleeping.  Panic!! I log in for my regularly scheduled shift......and NJA! Thanks a lot MQ.  Take work away from people that are scheduled to work just because you get a little panicky at 4 in the morning. ...

Feb 18, 2011

I love to be able to fill in blanks that people can't get and to help them.  I wish I could give them detailed explainations so that they can understand the why of the error or resources I used to find it.  However, because of the ridiculous pay and having to wade though ILP garbage (sorry, I don't enjoy helping them out), I'm only able to leave brief or even no messages to try to at least make what I did when being an MT.  These messages come across as rude, nitpic ...
